What kind of milk should i use when baking?

Question

I searched on how to make a souffle and one of the ingredients is milk. There are many type of milk and i don't know which is the one i can use to make a souffle. And i need a simpler recipe for making souffle, anyone can help? It will be appreciated, i'm making it for the TEACHERS' DAY ! Cool right? And as well as which kind of flour i can use. Well, i wanted to do it perfectly for teachers but i don't even know how to bake! But I'll TRY =D

Answer 1

If a recipe calls for milk it is whole cows milk.

the type of milk can dramatically effect the taste and texture of a baked product.

Your souffle is basically a custard. It is meant to be rich while fluffy from the eggs rising.   If you used heavy cream the souffle wouldn't rise much and you would have a quiche!!!. If you used skim milk you would get a runny mess because the eggs wouldn't have anything to "climb up" . Stick to whole milk unless otherwise specified.  

Answer 2

if not specifies its always COW
